Bay & Bow Window Costs

Bow & Bay Window Costs

Bow and bay window costs range from $1,400 to $6,000 installed. This is a huge price range so we will break it down into entry, mid range and high end projects, along with some details as to materials, glass, hardware and options to expect in each price range.

Entry Level Bow & Bay Window Costs

Entry level bows and bays windows usually have 3 fixed frame windows - usually a prefabricated unit that is delivered to the home by the installers - three installers is typical for this project. The frames will be a vinyl on the interior and exterior and the frame color choices will be very limited (white and off white). Homeowners can expect a low end low-e glass and plastic hardware on the unit.

-- Price Range: $700 to 1,000 (excluding installation)

Mid Range Bow & Bay Window Costs

Mid range bows and bays will typically still have only 3 windows and be prefab units. However at this price point the side windows may be movable for ventilation - most likely casements or double hungs. The frame material might be a high end vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum or even a wood clad. The glass package should be a mid range low-e option with fills and there should be some nice upgrades and options as to frame colors, finishes, grids, screens and hardware materials.

-- Price Range: $1,000 to 1,800 (excluding installation)

High End Bow & Bay Window Costs

High end bows and bays can get very expensive. They will almost always be custom made windows installed onsite and may have 4, 5 or 6 windows in the design. These will almost always be wood clad with a quality wood interior and a fiberglass or aluminum cladding on the exterior. Homeowners can expect tons of upgrades and options like triple pane glass, exterior frame colors and finishes and premium hardware options.

-- Price Range: $1,800 to 3,500 (excluding installation)
